I was admitted EA to Tulane. When I received my letter, it did not specify if I was admitted to the honors program. However, I received a substantial merit aid scholarship. I believe that I am a strong candidate for the honors program and am confused as to why I was not admitted. Has anyone been admitted specifically to the honors program? Where did it say this in your acceptance letter?
Which merit award did you get?
The Distinguished Scholar Award
You are right, that is a substantial award. But I think this year the Honors Program automatic invites might have only gone to the recipients of the Presidential and Premier Distinguished Scholar Awardees. I can’t swear to that but I think it is the case.
If you had a superior first semester that just ended, you might have that transcript sent to Dr. Luongo at the HP office and ask to be admitted to the program. Sometimes that works. Probably depends on how borderline you were to begin with. Worth a shot, anyway, if it is that important to you.
